You can have tires done at any shop, provided they understand how to jack the car properly. There are specific jack points documented in the manual, and also special jack pucks available to use at those points. Any shop that says they work on Teslas should be able to do it properly, but I've had mixed results at Discount Tire/America's Tire: in some cases they did the right thing without me needing to be involved, in others I've had to supply my own pucks, and in one case they just frame lifted the car and also hammered a weight on the outside edge of the alloy rim, creating a stupid bulge under the edge of the aero cap. So the moral of the story is that large businesses employ thousands of individual humans at varying levels of training and innate common sense. If you want to reduce the risk, be educated yourself on how to do it and then talk with the shop and verify their competency before heading off to Starbucks.I have almost 46k on my tires and need to replace them. Can I go to a tire shop (i.e. Pomps) or Costo or is it better to have Tesla Service do this?
They’re called America’s Tire out here. They sold me the OEM Michelin 20” tire for my MP3 when I destroyed it by hitting a pot hole.Discount Tire is your best option per lots of forum discussions I believe. It's called something different on the west coast I think but same company
will a tesla service center mount/balance tires you have purchased elsewhere?
Which tires did you have installed that lasted that long? and how was the road noise? Did you get a better new tires regarding road noise?I have almost 46k on my tires and need to replace them. Can I go to a tire shop (i.e. Pomps) or Costo or is it better to have Tesla Service do this?
Ok, but can Costco put them on correctly?I imagine any tire shop could do better than Tesla service as they have more experience in a day than Tesla might get in a month. But that said, buying tires online like at Tire Rack gets you the exact same tires as any tire shop or Costco, for less money, and then any tire shop will put them on. My tire shop charges me about $80 to install all four tires, including balancing, so I usually save over $100 going that route.
Of course, it's easier to just drive up to Costco and buy tires from them and have them install them while you go shopping inside.
And I've found Michelins usually give me more miles, but you've done well with whatever you've got.
The local tire shop I went to was closed this week, they opened up just for me !!You should consider establishing a relationship with a local shop that you trust. Nice when you are on a first name basis.
